Attribute Concatenation

On crossing the bridge.

Anatomy is a structure. Status is where that structure starts to live.

• ATTRIBUTES STATUS: EIC step that studies the interstitial physiology processes of Behavior Dynamics.

As in Attributes Structure, we apply operators to the primary pairs. This time the operator is not accentuation inside a pair. It is concatenation between attributes of different pairs.

• ATTRIBUTE CONCATENATION: Crossed interaction between attribute pairs from the primary jurisdiction.

The result is not four equal capacities, each an “enhanced” version of a primary (Stillness → Pro-Stillness). It is two new pairs, of two different kinds:

• Consistency / Impermanence
• Balance / Imbalance

The first pair reinforces. Successive motion leads to Impermanence; simultaneous serenity leads to Consistency. A held tone, a law in force at noon and at midnight, a stone that is still now: consistency. A fever’s course, a price series, a river: impermanence. These qualities attach themselves spontaneously, but the pairing is far less stable than anything in the primary jurisdiction. Accentuating one side here is more violent. It has a greater risk of breaking the pair.

The second pair cancels. That is why its members are interstitial statuses rather than identifiable qualities. A state of Balance depends on remaining still through the passage of time — a fallow field, a gyroscope, a clause that is not rewritten every week. Imbalance is simultaneous elements moving differently: two agencies on the same file, an ensemble out of time, many hands on one bed each working a different motion. Balance does not mean superiority. There are contexts that need imbalance.

With these two pairs in place, their further interactions will produce a higher — and less stable — interstitial complexity.
